AWB Chapter 431 Air Combat
Chapter 431 Air Combat
Since there was no place to land at the New 9th Army's camp, Bai Luo decided to fly directly to the North Gate of Er City.
There was an open space at the north gate, enough for his Japanese Zero fighter to land.
Moreover, it was close to the battlefield.
Moreover, this opportunity also provides a chance to scout out the situation of the Japanese division stationed along the river.
It would be even better if he could find the Japanese artillery positions, since he had the largest aerial bomb he had taken from the Japanese warehouse under the belly of his plane.
It weighs a full 60 kilograms.
Just from the size of the bomb, Bai Luo felt that it must be quite powerful, not to mention that he had covered the bomb with high explosives.
Its main selling point is that it offers large portions to keep you full.
He explained his landing location to Zhang Qing to avoid being accidentally injured by his own people.
Bai Luo then stepped on the gas and flew towards Er City.
The sky was gradually brightening, and the east was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
To ensure he was flying in the right direction, Bai Luo did not fly at a high altitude.
While piloting the plane, he admired the magnificent and desolate scenery of the northern province below as the sky began to lighten in the distance.
But just about 10 minutes after Bai Luo flew, when he was less than 80 kilometers away from Er City.
Two Japanese soldier insignia appeared on Bai Luo's monitoring radar.
Moreover, the movement speed was very fast. After a few seconds of contemplation, Bai Luo roughly guessed that it should be Japanese soldiers piloting the plane.
"Hmm~, judging from this route, it should be heading to Er City, but what can two planes do?"
Bai Luo looked at the two Japanese soldiers' insignia that were rapidly approaching him and muttered something under his breath.
"Forget it, let's just take it first."
After making up his mind, Bai Luo began to reduce his flight speed.
As soon as the overhead canopy was opened, a blast of cold air filled the cockpit of Bai Luo's aircraft.
Bai Luo was startled by the gust of wind and instantly became alert.
After adjusting the plane's altitude, I looked at the Japanese markings, which were less than 2 kilometers away.
Bai Luo directly took out a man-portable air defense missile from his spatial storage and carried it on his shoulder.
He stood directly in the cockpit seat and aimed the anti-aircraft missile launch tubes at the Japanese markings behind him.
After waiting for about 10 seconds, Bai Luo spotted the Japanese plane in the sight of the man-portable air defense system.
The aircraft he was piloting was the same model as his own—a Japanese Zero fighter.
At that moment, the Japanese soldiers in a plane behind Bai Luo were the first to spot a plane that seemed to be flying slowly not far in front of them.
"Wu Bianjun, is there an airplane up ahead? Did you see it?"
Tamura Kennel looked at a small black dot about 1 kilometer ahead and asked his companion to his left rear with some uncertainty via radio.
"What? Murata-kun, did you overdo it at the comfort station last night and your eyes are playing tricks on you? How come there's one of our planes here?"
When Murata Kensho heard Takebe Io's teasing, he cursed inwardly, "Did this idiot eavesdrop on me last night to guess so accurately?"
However, after hearing what Takeshi Takeo said, Murata Kensho also had some doubts about whether he had seen it wrong.
However, being cautious, he still decided to use the binoculars hanging around his neck to take a look.
But just then, a somewhat surprised voice came through the radio.
"Huh~, Murata-kun, there really is a plane up ahead? And it looks like it's one of ours."
Upon hearing this, Murata Kensuke immediately raised the binoculars in his hand and held them in front of his eyes.
The next moment, Murata Kensuke saw a location about 1 kilometer ahead through his binoculars.
An Imperial Zero fighter was flying slowly and unsteadily.
Moreover, the cockpit of the plane was already open, and a person wearing a helmet and a vest leaned out of the cockpit, carrying an iron pipe and looking at them.
Murata Kenshin was immediately taken aback; what was going on?
Why is that soldier carrying around a broken pipe instead of flying the plane properly?
Could it be a new telescope from the Empire?
But isn't it too big?
Thinking of this, Murata Kenshin couldn't help but look down at the cockpit of his plane.
He simply couldn't think of any place in the cabin where such a long pipe could fit.
Just as he was lost in thought, a terrified scream came through the radio from Takebe Io.
"Baka! It's the enemy!!!! Murata-kun, get out of the way!! Take cover!! Take cover!!!"
The terrified shouts from Takebe Io over the radio directly interrupted Murata Kensuke's thoughts.
I subconsciously looked up and looked ahead.
What came into view was a cannonball with fire spewing from its back hurtling toward him.
Upon seeing this, Murata Kensuke felt his hair stand on end, and his hands instinctively steered the aircraft's control stick to the side to avoid it.
At that moment, Murata Kensuke's adrenaline surged, and the abrupt change of direction caused a metallic tearing sound to come from inside the cockpit.
Meanwhile, Murata Kenshin was drenched in cold sweat.
But at that moment, he didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat that was already clinging to his eyelashes.
He used every trick in the book to keep dodging.
However, the modern anti-aircraft missiles launched by Bai Luo were not something that an old-fashioned Zero fighter could avoid with a few evasive maneuvers.
Under the horrified gaze of Takebe Io from the side.
He watched in disbelief as the incoming shell adjusted its flight angle the instant the Murata Kenshin plane changed direction.
Then it crashed straight into the nose of Murata Kennel's plane. In an instant, Takebe Io felt a burst of fire before his eyes, as bright as day.
At the same time, it was also a subconscious maneuver to maneuver the fighter jet under his seat to avoid the blast radius.
The Zero fighter, struck by Bai Luo's large rocket, exploded violently the instant the missile made contact with its nose.
Just listen to a loud "bang".
The enormous impact instantly tore the nose section apart, sending metal fragments flying in all directions like a shower of flowers.
The cockpit glass shattered into dust under the immense force, and the gale-force winds carried shattered parts and dashboard fragments back into the cockpit.
At this time, Murata Kenshin's body was covered with shards of glass and dashboard debris.
His eyeballs were shattered by shards, leaving two bloody holes. He slumped in his chair, coughing up large amounts of blood, while his body convulsed uncontrollably. After a couple of seconds, his body went limp and he gradually went still.
The Zero fighter he was sitting in began to twist and deform rapidly, the cockpit was also affected, and the entire aircraft turned into a huge fireball, billowing thick smoke.
Like a kite that has lost its tether, it lost control and spun rapidly towards the ground.
A few seconds later, a loud bang echoed across the desolate land of the northern province.
Meanwhile, Takeshi Takebe, who had escaped the blast radius, was also covered in cold sweat. The scene he had just witnessed made him wonder if he was still half asleep or if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He'd never even heard of a cannonball that could curve!
